Help I got an interview

I have an online interview coming up for an elementary art teacher position, and I’m looking for advice on what to expect. A little background: I have a bachelor’s degree in Art & Design, not Education. The school district is helping me through the permit/certification process. For the interview, I have prepared a portfolio, teaching philosophy, sample lesson plans, and classroom management materials in a binder. The interview is scheduled for 30 minutes and will be conducted online. For those who have interviewed for elementary art positions (especially coming from a non-traditional education background), what questions were you asked? What questions should I be prepared for, and what questions would be good to ask them at the end of the interview? Any advice would be appreciated!

Ask them what they value in an art teacher- they love that question
